If you’ve officially started your studies at another institution, the University of Texas at Austin won’t review your application for transfer admission until you meet the transferable coursework requirement.

To complete your application, you must submit official transcripts of all completed coursework by the deadline. Take some time to review the information about submitting transcripts for completed work and work you have in progress.

Admitted students must complete at least 60 semester hours of required coursework for their undergraduate degree in residence at the University of Texas at Austin. As a result, students transferring with more than 60 hours of transferable coursework should carefully consider how transferring might impact the amount of coursework required to earn a degree.

Some students who began their studies at a Texas junior or community college may be exempt from this rule. Contact the Office of Admissions at 512-475-7387 for questions about coursework in residence.

Students who attended UT Austin during the 2005 Fall semester as a result of a hurricane disaster were considered visiting students. If you were a visiting student and now are interested in returning to UT Austin on a regular basis, you must apply for transfer admission rather than for readmission as a returning student.

Have you attended UT Austin in the past? If you’re ready to return, apply for readmission. When applying for readmission, you must submit official transcripts of any work that you’ve taken since leaving UT Austin.

Students who attended UT Austin during the 2005 Fall semester because of the hurricane disasters were considered visiting students; if such a student is now interested in attending UT Austin as a regular student, he or she must apply for transfer admission instead of for readmission.

Students who have obtained a degree at another college or university but are interested in working toward an undergraduate degree at UT Austin must apply for undergraduate transfer admission in the same way as students who have not yet earned a degree. Having a degree does not affect your status as an applicant.

If you already have a bachelor’s degree (or higher), you may still want to take some additional undergraduate courses without working toward another degree. In this case, you should apply for transfer admission as a non-degree seeking student.

If you aren’t eligible to attend another college or university because of academic or disciplinary dismissal or suspension, you also aren’t eligible to attend UT Austin. We do not offer probationary or provisional admission to transfer students.

If you’re a Texas resident and you would like to apply for undergraduate admission without having courses you completed 10 or more years ago considered, you should apply for Academic Fresh Start, an option established as part of the Texas Education Code.

Some students who are enrolled at other colleges or universities want to take courses at UT Austin during the summer only without officially transferring. Such students are called summer transients and must follow the same application process as other transfer applicants.
